Holland Solar works together with its members to ensure the solar energy sector can continue to grow sustainably, and focuses on inspiring, informing, connecting, and further professionalising the Dutch market. These are precisely the values that drive Bluepeak as well. Sharing knowledge, collaborating on shared interests, and moving the sector forward.
Bram Peperzak, co-founder of Bluepeak, has taken the initiative within Holland Solar to establish a solar asset management working group and serves as its chair. The most relevant parties involved in solar asset management in the Netherlands have joined this group.
The aim of the working group is clear: to give solar asset management a full and recognised position in the chain from development to operations. Because that position is still too often absent. The sector’s focus has long been on development and realisation, getting projects off the ground quickly and moving on to the next. Asset management is a more process-driven activity, oriented towards the long term, and requires specific expertise. The result is that many solar energy systems are insufficiently managed after handover.
That is a missed opportunity and a risk. In the solar energy sector, asset management is often equated with maintenance and monitoring. However, many solar systems are still in a phase of high reliability with relatively few failures, which means there is no immediate trigger for structural investment in management. The working group aims to break through this by collectively developing standards, best practices, and a shared language for the field.
The Netherlands now has tens of gigawatts-peak of installed solar capacity. These installations represent enormous investments by property owners, developers, and investors. To ensure those investments continue to deliver returns, professional management is not a luxury but a necessity. If you can add a few percent to the return annually over the lifespan of an installation through asset management, then you are talking about serious money.
Bluepeak brings to the working group the same approach it applies in practice: independent, integral, and long-term oriented. Not tied to any supplier or technology but purely focused on what works best for the owner and the installation.
The working group is a platform for the sector, not for Bluepeak alone. By bringing together the right parties, asset managers, financiers, insurers, maintenance companies, software providers, and clients, the shared knowledge base is created that is needed to put solar asset management firmly on the map.
Bluepeak is proud of this role within Holland Solar and remains committed to a sector that does not only grow but also matures.
